The handbook contains theoretical and practical based chapters by highly respected scholars whose work has been seminal in building knowledge and expertise in the field. It also contains chapters exemplifying the work of prominent practitioner and community groups working outside universities.
The Editors provide an introduction and conclusion, as well as an opening chapter which charts the historical development of action research and provides an analysis of its underlying theories. The handbook is organized into four sections, each beginning with a short introduction:
" Action research methodology: diversity of rationales and practices
" Professional: Knowledge production, staff development, and the status of educators
" Personal: Self-awareness, development and identity
" Political: Popular knowledge, difference, and frameworks for change
This is a key resource for scholars and graduate students at doctors and masters levels, as well as school leaders and administrators.
